Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows something. I noticed that her cough seems to be more severe as well, and it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. I'm asking: How should I treat her tonsillitis and low fever?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
